A two-hour guided journey into the world of extra virgin olive oil, set in a 13th-century Masseria between Ostuni and Lecce. You'll walk the ancient grove, taste three award-winning oils with a certified EVOO sommelier, and finish with a glass of local wine and a proper Salento aperitivo.

What You'll Experience
Arrive at the Masseria
A fortified farmhouse dating to the 13th century, set in the open countryside near Brindisi. Free parking on site. Arianna and David will meet you personally.
Walk the Ancient Grove
Stroll through rows of centuries-old olive trees, some over 200 years old. Learn how we care for and harvest our century old olive trees.
Taste Like a Sommelier
You'll taste three monocultivar oils: Coratina, Biancolilla, and Peranzana. The same technique used by professional EVOO judges, with a lot more warmth.
Wine and Aperitivo
After the tasting, we pour a glass of local Salento wine. Sit with us, eat, and let the moment go at its own pace.

Meet Your Host
Arianna is a fourth-generation olive farmer and certified EVOO sommelier. She grew up on this land, left for Rome, the Netherlands, and France to study economics and business, and returned to Puglia to take over the family farm.
She has guided hundreds of guests through the grove and the tasting room. Reviews consistently highlight her passion, her knowledge, and the way she makes every visitor feel like a welcome friend. Not a tourist.
